Major Update

Untitled

This article needs a major rewrite and update. I'll start with an outline and bullet points. Please jump in, if you can help. Oconnell usa (talk) 00:54, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

We Are the AVP

I have merged and redirected "We Are the AVP" into this article as we do not need a separate article for the song. I was bold in doing this and if anyone has any comments/questions/concerns please discuss here or on my talk page. --WillMak050389 03:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

AVP, Inc. owns AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour, Inc. Its history is summarized in its last 10K filing:

"We originally incorporated under the name Malone Road Investments, Ltd., on August 6, 1990, in the Isle of Man. We re-domesticated in the Turks and Caicos Islands in 1992 and subsequently domesticated as a Delaware corporation in 1994. Pursuant to Delaware law, we are deemed to have been incorporated in Delaware as of the date of our formation in the Isle of Man. We changed our name to PL Brands, Inc. in 1994; changed our name to Othnet, Inc. in March 2001; and changed our name to AVP, Inc. on March 9, 2005. From December 2001 until our acquisition by merger of our wholly owned subsidiary, AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour, Inc., on February 28, 2005, we had no business operations other than to attempt to locate and consummate a business combination with an operating company." http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/930817/000114420408018554/v104828_10ksb.htm Oconnell usa (talk) 18:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

AVP, Inc. is required to file annually with the SEC a Form 10-KSB (small business). It filed for 2007 but not yet for 2008. The 2007 filing is at http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/930817/000114420408018554/v104828_10ksb.htm Oconnell usa (talk) 18:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

The most recent SEC filing with AVP ownership and financial info is the quarterly Form 10-Q as of 9/30/08 at http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/930817/000114420408064005/v131157_10q.htm Oconnell usa (talk) 18:27, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

On 12/12/08, AVP issued a press release and made an SEC filing to "deregister" its stock. The press release disclosed that there are fewer than 300 shareholders. As a result, after approximately 3/12/09, AVP no longer made any filings with the SEC, so public information about the corporation's affairs (including ownership and financial) is much more difficult to obtain. See Press Release at http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/930817/000114420408068989/v134652_ex99-1.htm and Form 8-K at http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/930817/000114420408068989/v134652_8k.htm and Form 15 at http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/930817/000114420408070209/v135137_1512g.htm Oconnell usa (talk) 18:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
